LETTER FROM JARRETTryILLE
Death of an Old Defender--CrOps--
Bethel Church &c

The funeral of Mr.. Henry Long took place
from his late residence, at Jarrettsville, Tuesday
afternoon. Rev. VIC. Stull was the officiating
clergyman, assisted by Rev. ]. L. Peters and
Rev. Thomas Henderson. The services were
held at the house Rev. Mr.. Stul preached an
able and eloquent sermon. Rev. Mr.. Henderson
paid glowing euoRy to the life and charac-
ter of the deceased. The funeral cortegc then
proceeded to Bethel Cemetery. where the inter
ment was made. The pall-bearers were Samuel
Deets, VIM. Gross, Thomas Bay. Zach kellogg,
Thomas Gross aud David Wilson. Mr.. Long
was well-known and highly respected citizen.
Though in feeble health during the past few
years, he still maintained cheerful disposition,
and calmly and patiently awaited the end. He
was in his 94th year and participated In and was
wounded at the battle of North Point in 1872 In
his death Hartford county loses her only citizen
who was one of the Old Defenders.
Farmers are busily engaged cutting corn and
preparing for wheat sowing. The corn crop will
he above the average of the previous year and
farmers are jubilant. The wheat crop, however
will not reach the average yield of several years
past. This is probably due to extremely dry
weather during and after sowing, rust, Hes
sian fly, &c. The oats crop, while extremely pro-
ductive in yield. is greatly inferior in quality
owing to the frequent rains which fell during
the time it was being harvested. Fruit, such as
apples, pears and plums, are becoming luxury
and as an article of domestic USE are not obtain
able on many of our most thrifty farms. Nearly
every farmer assigns the cause of the fruit faIi-
ure TO some different theory.
Mr.. Isaac Cairnes has erected a handsome
dwelling house of neat architectural desixn, on
the plot of ground recently purchased by him
from the estate of Mr.. John Sharp deceased.
The new Bethel Church is rapidly assuming
the form or an attractive editice. The masons
nave their work nearly finished. when the car
penters will prosecute the wood work as rapidly
as possible.

INSTITUTED in connection with the other services

The BaItimore and Ohio Railroad.

Close upon the announcement of the sale
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Express, last
week, came the news that the control of the
great Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had pass
ed into the hands of a syndicate composed of
Drexel, Morgan d Co., of Philadelphia, and
other American and foreign capitalists, who
have advanced $10,000,000, with which to re-
lieve the road from its burden of floating debt
and place it upon sound financial basis.
1t is stated that Mr.. Robert Garrett will
retire from the Presidency and that the road
and lis management will be thoroughly re.
organized. The syndicate which has thus
obtained control ofthe Baltimore and Ohio
is interested in competing lines and it is an
nounced that all antagonism will be
removed between these lines, which means
that vast monopoly now has control of the
railroad system of large part of the United
States. Whether the city of Baltimore will
be benefited or not by the change remains to
be seen. 1t has been evident for years past
that the Baltimore and Ohio company had
departed from its traditional policy of build.
ing up, as far as it could, the city of Baltimore
and the State of Maryland, to whose foster
ing care its unexampled success was so
largely due. Therefore the city and S,ate
will probably lose nothing by the transfer If
they gain nothing. In point of fact, the Penn
sylvania Railroad has, as general thing,
given the people of Baltimore better railroad
facilities than their own road ever granted
them.
1t is further announced that the Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph will eventually be swal
lowed up in Jay Goulds Western Union and
that the otheroutside enterprises of the Balti-
more and Ohio Company will also pass into
other hands 1t was these side.shows, 1t is
believed, which have crippled the great rail.
road and brought tito the verge of bank
ruptcy. The building of the branch road to
Philadelphia absorbed millions more than its
estimated cost and has been from its start a
constant drain upon the resources of the
company.
The IDEAL" has caused much stir in finan.
cial circles and the unfolding of the future
policy of the railroad is awaited with much
interrs'.

The Death of an old I.ady-Accident-
Fine New Barn

Miss Hannah G. Stephenson, daughter of the
late Rev. VIM. Stephenson, died on September
Ed, after an illness OF few days. She was about
eighty years of age. During her long life she en-
loved the respect of the community and always
had kind word for every one. The large con-
course OF friends which attended her funeral,
Sunday afternoon, testified to the high esteem
In which she was held by those who knew her.
The services were conducted at her late resi-
dence, by Rev. II. c. Smith, of the Rock Run NJ.
E. Church, the interment being in the family
burying ground. The pal-bearers were VIM.
Parker, Edward Parker. Judge John III. Price,

Stephenson and Mrs Joseph G. Parker.

For County Surveyor.
THOMAS E. CATHCART.
The County EXPENSES.

The Levy List has been completed and the
County Commissioners have ordered its pub
LEGATION. The taxable bases is $12977, 260,
the county expenses levied for being $780,
031.71. The increase in the valuation of
property in the county is only $66s19. A
much larger amount of property than this
was brought under assessment, but the abate-
ments were also large.
The increase in the assessment of the Sus-
quehanna Water Power and Paper Company,
as made by the Tax Commissioner, is $24,-
1873, or nearly one-half of the increase in
the basis of taxation.
The assessments by the tax collectors have
been comparatively few in number For
each new assessment the collector receives
fec of % cents, but it appears that this fee is
not sufficient inducement for them to go
out OF their way to search for property that
ought to be taxed. The County Commits
sioners should urge the tax collectors to
more faithful and earnest compliance with
their duties in this respect. Thousands of
dollars worth of property annually escapes
taxation because the collectors, not finding
this branch of their duty pleasant or profit.
able, make little or no effort to increase the
list of taxables. Consequently the burden
falls more heavily upon every new enterprise
which may be established and upon those
whose property is all assessed.
The administration of justice, the support
of the public schools and the repair and con-
struction of roads and bridges constitute the
principal items in the list of county expenses.
or these the courts require $1S,59O; the
public schools receive $22,0G1; and the roads
and bridges $30,942, making in all, for these
three branches of the county government,
1884. The miscellaneous sources of ex-
pense absorb the remainder, which amounts
to about $4,000.
The rate OF taxation is "a cents on the 800
Last year it was 81 on the 500, being then
largely and unavoidably increased by the
damage to roads and bridges by the great
flood of the preceding year.
The County Commissioners, we believe,
have done all in their power to keep down
county expenses, but there is a constan. de-
mand on the part of taxpayers for new and
better roads and bridges, and many of these
are an imperative necessity on account of the
number of new railroad stations established
in the county

SWEET BE THY sLUMBER.
AFFECTIoNATELY TO THE MEMORY OF
MRS. KATE ]. BALDWIN.


MRS. KATE J. BALDWIN.
For thee the flowers bloom in vain,
The birds their sweetest songs employ,
They wake thee not to life again,
They bring thee neither pain nor joy
Thy cares are past, thy work is done,
Sweet be thy slumber, gentle one.
The sun shall shed his golden beams
And flood the earth with JOY and light;
Onward shall flow the murmuring streams
And twilight's glow precede the night;
The seasons that their rounds repeat
Shall not disturb thy slumber sweet.
How sweet to find happy rest,
When life and all its tolls are DER,
To ind mansion with the blest,
And be at home forever more:
Break forth, oh light! Come, perfect day!
Angels have rolled the stone away.
The trusting Christian knows no death,
But simply trusting falls asleep;
death hath no sting" the Bible saith,
And heavens place where none may weep
Oh contamination Can it be,
That Goo hath been so kind to me?
Farewell, dear Kate, we place our trust
In God, aud He alone can save,
Can lift the sinner from the dust
And gid the cold and silent grave;
Until we at His throne shall meet,
oh may thy sleep be ever sweet.
